When Gov. Corzine spent a fair piece of his inaugural address in January 2006 calling for higher ethical standards and more responsible government spending, he angered at least two of his fellow Democrats: Sens. Sharpe James and Wayne Bryant.
"Was he elected to be the only one to decide what's political? What he views could be different from the Legislature," Bryant griped.
James said most of the Senate and Assembly "already agree with his hue and cry for reform, and do not deserve to be painted with the same brush."
Both were convicted on corruption charges this year.
James was found guilty of using his power as mayor of Newark to steer land at cut-rate prices to his mistress.
Bryant this week was convicted of sending millions of dollars to the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in exchange for a no-work job.
